Two things you won't be able to forget easily that occur in The Grey Zone are the final scene/conversation and the first few scenes the recovered girl is in. To pull those two scenes off without a shred of indifference is commendable as they are the sole beacons that some positive factors of humanity do exist in this film or in other words, the characters reality.

The casting choices are all wrong. Arquette is surprisingly not the big problem here. But it's jarring to see Buscemi and Keitel and Mira Sorvino in this context. And Nelson makes an odd choice to have the dialogue in clipped, Mamet-esque rhythms. One gets the sense that it was just something he always wanted to do, so why not do it here? The story does raise questions of morality, but this is really nothing new in Holocaust films, and has been done more effectively in films before and since.

"You can almost hear the gears of Blake's moral mechanism churning as character's spit out their maxims." - Ed Gonzalez

A very mediocre holocaust movie.

A very mediocre holocaust movie. But then again, it's kind of hard to top Schindler's List.

strong work

Excellent film.the scarey thing is that this probably will happen again the way things are going in this world.

i have never seen a movie portaying the holocaust in which the jews fight back, and it is most satisfying.
